A luxury destination wedding at Villa Mangiacane

Callie and Alex celebrated their dream destination wedding with a luxurious two-day event at Villa Mangiacane, a historic estate nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti, just outside Florence. This iconic villa, featuring Palazzo Machiavelli, a 14th-century noble residence, and the refined Villa Mazzei, is renowned for its timeless charm, exclusive services, and breathtaking views—perfect for luxury weddings and private events.

The celebration began with a colorful welcome dinner in the villa’s garden, where guests dined at two imperial tables beautifully decorated with vibrant flowers. The menu included Tuscan appetizers, handmade pasta, and a sizzling barbecue, setting a warm and convivial tone.

On the wedding day, Callie and Alex shared a romantic first look in the elegant loggia before exchanging their vows during an intimate outdoor ceremony in the villa’s garden. Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed a scenic aperitivo in another part of the estate’s park.

The evening continued with a lavish wedding dinner in front of the villa’s grand facade. White floral arrangements, glowing candles, and ornate candelabras created an atmosphere of pure elegance. After a champagne tower and first dance, Callie and Alex cut a traditional Tuscan millefoglie cake against the backdrop of spectacular fireworks. The night ended with an unforgettable dance party behind the villa, as guests celebrated love and luxury late into the night.

Villa Mangiacane offers couples the perfect blend of Italian elegance, privacy, and luxury, making it an ideal setting for timeless destination weddings in Tuscany.

Wedding day

Gemma + Mitchel - An exclusive destination wedding in Tuscany at Villa Mangiacane

Staying true to the luxury and art vibes of Villa Mangiacane, Gemma and Mitchel threw a summer wedding that fits right in with all that Italian glamour. The sweet couple flew from USA with their families and friends, to this epic venue nestled in the hearth of Chianti region. 

The bright and magnificent facade of Palazzo Machiavelli was the perfect setting for their intimate celebration, and with the expert guidance of Alessia, they created a sophisticated feel with a gorgeous ivory, pink, blush, green, white and gold color palette for the florals, wedding party attire, and decors.

After saying “I do”, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed the views of the olive groves and the vineyards under the Loggia, during a typical italian aperitivo.The intimate party then continued under the stars, on the garden terrace. Paper lanterns as place cards, golden lights and organic blooms spilling onto the tables set a romantic scene beneath a canopy of lights. Surely this wedding was nothing short of perfection!
